Summary
Secret Smile is a gripping psychological thriller from the top-ten bestselling author Nicci French.
You have an affair. You finish it. You think it's over. You're dead wrong....
Miranda Cotton thinks she's put boyfriend Brendan out of her life for good. But two weeks later, he's intimately involved with her sister. Soon what began as an embarrassment becomes threatening - then even more terrifying than a girl's worst nightmare. Because this time Brendan will stop at nothing to be part of Miranda's life - even if it means taking it from her ....
Nicci French is the pseudonym for Nicci Gerrard and Sean French. The couple live in Suffolk and have written thirteen other best-selling novels, all published by Penguin: Complicit, What to Do When Someone Dies, Until It's Over, Losing You, Catch Me When I Fall, The Memory Game, Beneath the Skin, The Safe House, The Red Room, Land of the Living, Killing Me Softly, and, most recently, Blue Monday and Tuesday's Gone in the brilliant new Frieda Klein series.

loved this book
Really enjoyed this book, some of the characters and their voices were so infuriating that i couldn't wait to finish the story and hope they get what they deserve. Nicci french books are always gripping and well written. The narrator was good too, although i HATED Brendons voice!!

Rather irritating!
It was irritating how
1. The heroine was never believed even though everyone around her was dying
2. The policeman was even more irritating to the point of being unrealistic
3. She continued to put herself in stupid situations
4. The denouement was an anti climax. Without giving too much away - it’s perverting the course of justice

Sometimes no gaps between scenes, otherwise good
Unfortunately the editing of the audio version meant that some gaps between scenes weren't obvious, causing confusion when scenes changed mid chapter
Story was good but with a slightly disappointing ending

Gripping and haunting
What struck me most about this book was how well written it was. The authors never resorted to lazy clichés but seemed to find exactly the right words to describe the feelings of the first person narrator. I was so gripped by the story that I kept having to stop what I was doing to listen, and once when I listened in bed I got so angry on her behalf that I couldn't sleep.
Julie Maisey was exactly the right narrator for this book. She made the characters real for me. I felt I knew Miranda.
I'm still haunted by the story, and its ending.
